CAF Chief Issa Hayatou Should Resign

Pitch Invasion 03 February @ 01:17 PM EDT

Issa Hayatou, far right.

Our post last week condemning CAF's decision to ban Togo for two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments for withdrawing from this year's event following the deadly attack on their team bus mirrored much of the world reaction: it saw the draconian punishment as rash, insensitive and wrong.

ACN Analysis: Egypt worthy winners of disappointing tournament

Sanford's Soccer Net 03 February @ 10:06 AM EDT
Unlike previous tournaments, this Africa Cup of Nations was not so much a 'football festival' and far more, it often seemed, a three-week advert for hosts Angola. After the final, I asked the local organising committee's executive director whether the 2010 Nations Cup would be remembered for the football or the deadly attack on Togo, to which Antonio Mangueira replied 'the football and we had some wonderful fireworks too'.

The Most Disgusting Decision In Football History?

Who Ate All the Pies 01 February @ 08:09 AM EDT

By Ollie Irish

The Confederation of African Football (CAF), in its infinite wisdom, has decided to ban Togo from participating in the next two African Cup of Nations.

Yes, you read that correctly. Read it again though, just to be sure.

CAF also fined Togo $50,000 for quitting the competition prematurely.

African Cup Of Nations Final Photos: Ghana 0-1 Egypt – Gedo Fires Egypt To Hat-Trick Of Wins

Who Ate All the Pies 01 February @ 07:51 AM EDT

By Ollie Irish

Not a classic game by any means, but it was very, VERY tight and so I couldn't take my eyes off it. Either side could have won, but in the end Mohamed Gedo's excellent curling shot, scored in the 85th minute, earned Egypt their third ACN title in a row, and a record seventh overall.

Ah, what joy.

Futebol bonito 31 January @ 03:40 PM EDT
Sem três das suas principais figuras - Aboutrika, Zaki e Mido -, o Egipto sagrou-se hoje tricampeão africano com mais um golo da revelação e melhor marcador da prova, o jovem Gedo, que precisou de pouco mais de 120 minutos para fazer cinco golos na prova. Curiosamente, o campeoníssimo africano não conseguiu a qualificação para o Mundial deste ano e já não marca presença na principal prova de selecções desde o Itália-90, ainda com o contributo do "barbudo" Abdel Ghany, na altura jogador do Beira-Mar.

The Sweeper: Togo Ban Fallout Continues

Pitch Invasion 31 January @ 11:50 AM EDT

Big Story

While BBC African football blogger Piers Edwards' opening sentence on his post yesterday may be slightly over-the-top ("Not since Buckingham Palace took so long to respond Princess Diana's death in 1997 has an organisation so badly misjudged the mood of the public"), he does capture a bit of the public mood following Caf's decision to fine Togo $50 000 and ban them from the next two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

CAF Bans Togo Team From Africa Cup of Nations

We want Rapidman 30 January @ 11:26 AM EDT
Oh God. Just when you thought governing bodies in football couldn't get more stupid, the Togo national team has been banned for the next two Africa Cup of Nations by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Their crime? To walk away from the current tournament because three of their party had been brutally murdered and others remain in intensive care after the attack on the team bus just as the tournament opened.

How to Justify Banning Togo from the Next Two Africa Cup of Nations?

Pitch Invasion 30 January @ 11:23 AM EDT

FIFA and its confederations take political interference into sporting affairs pretty seriously. Perhaps too seriously, given certain circumstances.

The decision of CAF to ban Togo from the next two Africa Cup of Nations because of the decision of the Togolese government to withdraw the team from the current tournament is defended by the confederation as follows:

The response to the attack on the Togolese team from much of the rabble that constitutes the English Premier League was predictable. The emirs and oligarchs did not say much, leaving it to some of the old fashioned brass merchants to bellow about bringing their players "home".
